Virginia Bottomley and the Peter Righton report

After Peter Righton’s home was raided in 1992, the then Health Secretary Virginia Bottomley was reported to be “shocked” and demanded a full report. But this was last time Virginia Bottomley spoke about the matter and no report was ever published. In fact the only time Peter Righton’s name was ever mentioned in Parliament was in October 2012 when Tom Watson asked his PMQ about “a powerful political paedophile ring”.
